That MAY (or may not) give you some clue already... Duh! . My bad, I guess that would be a pretty solid indicator. Sorry, I should have payed more attention to the box, but I just though "box, ho hum" and scrolled past it. Thanks Tapchan, that IS good news. So, if everything on the box is included one really doesn't need the weapons kit, yes? Edited August 24, 2019 by Mstor Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Stephen Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 3 hours ago, Mstor said: Nothing personal but, how do you know? I thought we'd be getting the weapons set. There was someone who said he spoke to Hobby Easy and they confirmed this but stated there was a cut off number of sets that would be available. Now its only those that ordered before Dec 2017 and paid in advance. I've seen a lot of pics that showed a bunch of sprues, including weapons sprues, but nothing that definitively stated that weapons would be included, much less which weapons. Until I see the actual contents of a boxed kit, I'm a little leery. It's shown on the side of the kit and it was announced way back when, the other weapon sets is basically the weapon sprues which are going to be sold as a separate kit. For people who pre ordered before a specified date from some outlets they're getting the weapon set as a bonus (you can dig through 200 pages to find out the date and outlets mentioned if you're so inclined. ) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
flanker27 Posted August 24, 2019 Share Posted August 24, 2019 I think and I can be wrong, the F-14 comes with those weapons. The weapons are also available separately as a weapon set. For those that preorder and paid, they will get the kit with the weapon inside, plus an extra weapon box set. Thats my understanding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

You might have said "feeling a little leery", which is probably a criminal offence somewhere. It's a shame the wing carry through box spars are preset instead of being articulated. If the spars were swinging we could swap-out a display between swept slick wings and flaps hanging out, using alternative drop-in boots for the wing seal.

Don Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 Alright, I'll be the odd one in the group and admit...I like the X-32. I've always been a sucker (pun intended) for jets with big intakes like that (A-7, F-8 type aircraft). So yeah, I guess I'm strange that way. Hey, it was at least a happy looking aircraft.

Happy modeling all! Boeing had a variant with a full tail and a swept wing configuration. It was actually kind of nice look. I think nicer than the F-35. Unfortunately this was only on paper, no prototype was ever built of that version. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
